Thanks Bob!
Question: Are the small clips that keeps the lifting rings in place reproduced?
If so, who sell's them?
I also need both rope guide plates for the front lifting rings...
Did the GPA came from the factory with a rope for the winch?

Regards,
Luc

Great ! Congratulations Luc.

Yes, GPA were delivered with two ropes - one for the capstan and the other one for emergency towing use - and also with a flash light and even ... a sponge ...

By the way, I'm also looking for the small lifting rings clips ...

Hope to see you soon.

Thanks guys!
Restoring a gpa is challenging and expensive, but very rewarding.
Am looking forward to next seizon to have fun with her and meet many other amphibian owners.

All the best,
